INDIAN GEOGRAPHY

Detailed explanation-1: -Solutions for According to the ‘Theory of Plate Tectonics, ‘ the movement of the plates result in some geological activity. Which one of the following is not such a geological activity? a)Volcanic activityb)Foldingc)Faultingd)GlaciationCorrect answer is option ‘D’.

Detailed explanation-2: -The theory of plate tectonics revolutionized the earth sciences by explaining how the movement of geologic plates causes mountain building, volcanoes, and earthquakes.

Detailed explanation-3: -When two plates are moving away from each other, we call this a divergent plate boundary. Along these boundaries, magma rises from deep within the Earth and erupts to form new crust on the lithosphere. Most divergent plate boundaries are underwater and form submarine mountain ranges called oceanic spreading ridges.

Detailed explanation-4: -Earthquakes and volcanoes are the short-term results of this tectonic movement.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plate motions cause mountains to rise where plates push together, or converge, and continents to fracture and oceans to form where plates pull apart, or diverge. The continents are embedded in the plates and drift passively with them, which over millions of years results in significant changes in Earth’s geography.
